Questions that need to be asked are:
Where are the promised LONG HALL SCHEDULES
Where are the promised FULL SERVICE EUROPEAN SCHEDULES
Where are the promised FULL SERVICE DOMESTIC SCHEDULES

I recall from the public inquiry Peel produced a letter of support from Cancun Airport in Mexico and were laughed at by the opposing airports. A year later and there is a flight to Cancun in the programme for Summer 06, so who is laughing now? Also flights to 3 other long haul destinations by 2014 was the 'promise' at the inquiry - they have also links to Orlando and the Dominican Republic as well as Egypt for 2006 so that answers the first question.
Re the second, given on-time performance and reliability are the most important factors for scheduled traffic, (businesses don't care so much for free newspapers and a curtain anymore) - full service is not as relevant as it once was. Company Barclaycard say 71% of CEO's use low cost for business, prooves the point.
Re domestic, i can't recall Peel ever saying that one, can you say where that was quoted?
